Rain cannot quench thy lantern’s light,
Wind makes it shine more brightly bright;
Oh why not fly to heaven afar,
And twinkle near the moon – a star?
Li Po A.D. 705-762

Certainly was. But then, as you said, many of these poems hold current connections to present life. Cheers.
Glad you liked and a memory was jangled! 😊
Fireflies in olive groves in Italy were a massive goosebump moment. Having an elongated meal with an Italian family and many friends at their home and the camaraderie surrounding the evening scene added to the experience. Poems jangle the memories.
